1. Step 1:

   Top plane>>Sketch.
   

   

2. Step 2:

   Draw two circles.
   

   

3. Step 3:

   Extrude them by 10mm.
   

   

4. Step 4:

   Chamfer.
   

   

5. Step 5:

   Select both upper and lower edge. Chamfer by 0.5mm and 45º.
   

   

6. Step 6:

   Reference Geometry>>Axis.
   

   

7. Step 7:

   Circular edge.
   

   

8. Step 8:

   Front plane and then reference geometry>>plane.
   

   

9. Step 9:

   Offset it by 7mm.
   

   

10. Step 10:

    Plane1>>sketch.
    

    

11. Step 11:

    Circle of 2mm dia at 5mm.
    

    

12. Step 12:

    Extrude cut it.
    

    

13. Step 13:

    Inner face>>sketch.
    

    

14. Step 14:

    While selecting face click convert entitites.
    

    

15. Step 15:

    Extruded cut.
    

    

16. Step 16:

    Extrude cut by draft at 60º.
    

    

17. Step 17:

    Circular pattern.
    

    

18. Step 18:

    Select both cut-extrude feature as the feature to pattern about axis1 6 times.
    

    

19. Step 19:

    And we have the nut.
    

    

20. Step 20:

    After cutting threads.
